The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate has condemned the attacks of the "Zionist regime" on Iran and said this country's actions are an attempt to intensify violence in the region, which makes the unpleasant situation in the region even more complicated.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that Israel's actions are considered a clear violation of Iran's privacy.

“All the influential parties are responsible for stopping the Zionist regime from spreading more violence and crimes in the region,” the statement said.

The statement stated: “Unfortunately, in the course of more than a year, the Zionist regime not only ended its crimes in Gaza but also expanded it to other areas.”

The ministry added that continuing this situation has led to serious concerns about the humanitarian and security situation in the region.

The Iranian army confirmed on Saturday that the country's military bases in three provinces, including Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam, were targeted by Israeli attacks.

Zalmay Khalilzad, former US special envoy for Afghanistan peace, has criticized the Islamic Emirate’s restrictions on girls’ education, saying that the move cannot be called Islamic.

Khalilzad said in a post on X that the current IEA leadership has “sadly turned Afghanistan into the only country in the entire world where female education above elementary school is not allowed.”

“This includes the Islamic world, leading to the conclusion that what is being done on girls' and women's higher education can not be called Islamic. In fact, calling it Islamic is a disgrace,” Khalilzad said. “It is not shared by even one other Islamic country.”

The former diplomat mentioned that BRICs in their summit statement added their voices to the uniform global opposition to this policy of the IEA.

The Islamic Emirate has previously said that laws in Afghanistan are based on Sharia, and that the girls’ education is an internal matter.

Tehran is seeking to encourage Afghan entrepreneurs and investors to invest in Iran’s major projects by facilitating conditions and removing obstacles, Iran’s special envoy for Afghanistan Hassan Kazemi Qomi said.

Speaking on the sidelines of an international expo in Mashhad city, Qomi said that the development of Iran's Chabahar port requires the attraction of large capitals and that the route between Iran and Afghanistan can create a transit corridor for the region from north to south and east to west.

He said that countries in Central Asia and Afghanistan are interested in developing economic cooperation with Iran.

“Considering the good experiences that started in the field of construction post-war, Iran’s policy is based on helping the stability and security and construction of other countries, therefore, a serious role to participate in the reconstruction of countries like Afghanistan exists,” Qomi said.
